The future of gaming is here with PlayStation 4

Today is an exciting day for gamers everywhere. As you may have seen live with millions of others across the world, just moments ago we introduced PlayStation 4 (PS4), our next-generation console that will deliver breakthrough gaming experiences for our fans starting this holiday season.

PlayStation 4 is centered on all of you – the gamers. It redefines rich and immersive gameplay with powerful graphics and speed, intelligent personalization, deeply integrated social capabilities, and innovative second-screen features. When we designed PlayStation 4, we focused on building an architecture that will allow the greatest game developers in the industry to push boundaries and dig deep within their imaginations to create the most immersive and unique games for you to enjoy.

With so much amazing content in development for PlayStation 4, we want to give our fans every opportunity to check out virtually any PS4 game when it becomes available. In the future, when a gamer sees a title of interest in PlayStation Store, they can immediately start playing a portion of the actual game.

Our next generation console will change the way you interact with friends while you play. PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press on the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s “share” button. You can also broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways. Be sure to check out the post from Shu Yoshida, WWS President, for his thoughts on DUALSHOCK 4 and the “share” features.

With PlayStation 4 we also want you to access your games quicker than ever before. PS4’s “suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button. PlayStation 4’s background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

Leveraging PlayStation Network with Gaikai technology, PS4 will make it easier for you to play your favorite games and access content wherever you are. We see PS Vita as the ultimate companion device for PS4 and it’s our long-term vision to make most PS4 games playable on PS Vita, so you can bring your favorite games from the big-screen TV to your PS Vita over Wi-Fi. We’re also introducing a “PlayStation App” for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices that acts as a second screen, allowing for unique gameplay possibilities such as viewing maps during an adventure game or remotely watching friends play during an epic battle—right from a smartphone or tablet.

With so much to look forward to in 2013, I want to take a moment to thank you for following PlayStation through our incredible journey and allowing us to bring the most advanced hardware, software and networked gaming experiences into millions of homes around the world. We’re excited about this next chapter, and will continue to provide you with more details about PlayStation 4 and the broader PlayStation ecosystem, as we get closer to launch this holiday season.

And thank you and yours for providing these products which have invariably enrichened my gaming life. I’m telling you, without Playstation I wouldn’t be much of a gamer. Loyal to the end! Although I am going to miss that perfectly elegant controller design I’ve enjoyed up untill now..

A little underwhelming really, You did something like the Wii U with just showing off the controller and a couple of games, hope E3 shows a lot more promise.
Also no backwards compatibility is a little off putting.

“PlayStation Meeting 2013: The future of gaming is here with PlayStation 4
Countries: AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ

So does this mean an Xmas release for EU too? Not just Japan/USA and Europe the afterthought like it was with the PS3 introduction?

@genjiboy
You mean the part where they say there’s no backwards compatibility and only streaming old titles with no explanation on if the service will cost or not? I’m not 100% on board with the PS4 just yet, i’m hoping that E3 will show off the console in a better light, Less Specs more games and information.

I’m guessing this is just a copy and paste from the US PS blog? But I hope PS4 releases in PAL regions in Holiday 2013. Anyway the games for the system look amazing. Can’t wait for new info. Hope Second Son is a launch title.

We can only hope for a world wide launch, if Nintendo and Apple can do it, i dont see why Sony cant.
Lets hope that sony Europe dont tarnish the Playstation 4 experience like they have with Playstation 3.
My hopes are better online management including universal store across all Sony regions or at the very least one submission process for all stores Sony wide. I dread to think how the SCEE team could destroy Playstation Cloud with their archaic QA processes, localization hurdles, price gouging compared to US$ and generally unpleasant online customer service experience.

it is ridiculous how almost half the games of ps plus are now VITA games that replaced full ps3 games, while 99% of people only have the ps3 and want ps3 games ! please fix this today sony ! if you need to have vita games in plus make them ADDITIONAL not as a replacement for ps3 titles.

I really really hope remote playing is going to be possible like on Wii U. I want to play games on my lap and not only through entire room with TV. This tablets and smartphones app is interesting to me tostream games through them. But i wonder if everything is going to be done with a cost of internet or bluetooth or what else..
And yeah, backwards compatibility *sigh*

I hope the PS4 will offer full PS2 BC this time, so I can play my PS2 disc games over HDMI, using a wireless Dualshock controller and using virtual memory cards; like how I can play my PS1 games on the PS3.

Also hope that Nier 1080p HD, Valkyria Chronicles 1080p HD and the Yakuza series 1080p HD are re-released for the PS4.

And finally I hope that Sony will continue to improve the selection of classic PS1 & PS2 games on EU PSN, like the Suikoden series.

Does it include a singspam icon?
Does it include OtherOS?
Does it include a webbrowser that shows everything without crashing the console?
Does it include the option to set your personal preferences in the menu like:
– Showing incoming messages as popup but not the user X comes online and user Y goes offline?
– Never ask me to go online when starting a Bluray movie?
– Does it included locked savegames?

I won’t ever buy a console in wich I can’t play my PS3 games! I spent a lot of money to buy them in collection boxes and I think it’s stupid to lose the chance to play them again in new console ad it’s very stupid to still keep both PS3 and PS4 console only for playing old games! Sony don’t respect its costumers, expecially European ones. In the past, only Japan and American customers could buy a console with retrogaming chip while in Europe we must accept a software emulator. Stop joking with us! I won’t give any cent to you until you won’t respect me. You’re the worst company ever!

Hm, Jack Tretton of SCEA is signing an article on SCEE’s blog. So no one in SCEE knows anything? Again seems like SCEE is a complete outsider of this presentation. Thank you Sony for your care. Just go and make Europe the last region to launch PS4. If you don’t care about us, I don’t care for your new console also. You may treat me like **** once, but you cannot do it twice.

I assume it’s downloads only for the PS4,or am I wrong. If that’s true, why did you let me buy a 600 euro costing console and have me buy PS3 games and movies on blue ray which are now worthless on the PS4? If this is true then (and I’m a fan since PS1) the PS3 and Vita were the last machines I bought from Sony……

I must admit – everything looks neat and all, very promising… I’ll definitely will bee looking for more news.

But – let me guess. Most of those additional services will be available only for Japan/US/UK, right? Maybe you’ll lower the price of console due that? I’m also curious how SCE will handle all that online and sharing across the world when they can’t even get to release games on time in different parts of the world…

I hope I’m just a pessimist (or, rather, realist with experience)… And I hope I’ll be mistaken. But we will see I guess.

Well for me that stream was unwatchable. Gave up after 40 mins. Hope there’s a full recording?

As for the stuff I saw, that tony touchpad redefines gimmick and the architecture basically looks like a PC – assume that Xbox720 will be the same. So, I already have a powerful PC and I’ve been happier with the prices on PC digital services. I also have £1000 of PSN purchese and my IGC from plus so I would like to be able to play these on a new console – not just have streaming access to them.

Well this is disappointing, no backwards compatibility, suggests no discs? and all this talk about streaming this and that and a lot of downloading, this might work if everyone had an ideal connection and there were no bandwidth caps, but considering how severley limiting internet connection is for a lot of people, this is bound to do poorly in sales from this alone

also i sincerley hope they give us an option to disable all the social features they showed, they look straight up terrible

Excellent presentation, a lot of interesting, looking forward. Many thanks!!! It was GREAT!!!
About all your games on the PS3… This is called progress, why you did not cry when throwing your VYS. Keep your PS3 and enjoy it, it’s not a big deal.)
Sorry for my english)))

1: PS4 is using discs. Sony made this very clear last year. Current day download speeds aren’t up to the task of downloading this gen’s games in a timely fashion so it certainly won’t do next gens.

2: Backwards compatibility won’t work inside the box, the hardware is just too different. While it looks like there will be some sort of streaming solution there is an alternative if you want to play your PS3 games: keep your PS3. Selling it second hand today would get you less than £100, how much will you get for it when the PS4 is out? You’ll be lucky to get two extra games for it.

3: It looks like European release date is still to be decided based on this interview: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-21-sony-sounds-uncertain-about-european-ps4-launch-timing – Yoshida says is depends on production numbers and demand estimates. Looks like Sony are playing safe and avoiding promising a global launch then failing deliver one as they did with the PS3 but won’t go as far as to say Europe is definitely delayed as they did with Vita. We’ll have to wait until E3 or possibly PAX to find out more.

Whenever you’re on here all you do is complaining while it turns out you really don’t have a clue. The Vita games on the IGC did not replace PS3 games, they already are ADDITIONAL. You still get the exact same amount of PS3 titles as you did before they introduced Vita games to Plus so your whole point is moot. If you’re so unhappy over things that only exist in your mind then just leave and buy another console, i’m sure i won’t miss your whining on the threads around here.

OT: Awesome reveal, i was most impressed by Watch Dogs and hope there’s gonna be some more announcements on E3 (Naughty Dog anyone?). Little disappointed about not seeing the actual PS4 console but this way we still have something to look forward to!!

As much as I am excited, if you guys will keep treating big 5 EU countries better than the rest like you do it this generation then I am out of this bus.

I don’t want delays because games have to have those 4 additional languages in EU versions; it is just stupid, delay them in those 4 countries not the whole Europe. Also a global digital store would be very welcome…

Will keep an eye for more news, I really like my PS3, but my experience got totally ruined due to the fact that even though I am living in European Union I still need to import most of the games I play….

The meeting impressed me, it seemed like they were holding back allot of the stuff they should have done a long time ago for the PS4, like seeing how many of your friends own each game.

I am going to buy a Playstation 4 day one, I am an American living in the UK for the time being and as such I did not get the $10 for being a loyal customer, but I don’t see store credit to be the perfect reward from SCE. It’s supply and demand, we buy their products and they reward us with better ones, we invest in each other to get more out of each other.

The only things I didn’t really like is PS3 being available via the cloud… eventually which for sony could be a long time and I do not want to re-buy PS3 games I already own to replay them on my PS4, I expect to still be wanting to play PS allstars in a year and beyond with my roommates and I would like to do it on my PS4 when I have it. The Media Molecule stuff let me down a bit, who knows it could turnout to be great, but what they showed did not excite me in the way the LBP games did, also I own a Move and yet I still believe it should have been left behind in the new generation, as Sony did not force people to support it enough and in the right way.

I still want to know when the rejected countries get PSN connection or even their country in the country list. Estonians (and others) have been forced to use wrong country for 7 years to even get free demos.

PS4 is coming at some point and it will have a price tag. There are some new games being developed to it that will be released sooner or later. PS4 will force-fed you with all kind of social media humbug and the new controller is but ugly.

The pad looks slick but its interesting that there is no Start nor Select buttons… Also, it’s great we can see the pad but… WHERE’S A PHOTO OF THE CONSOLE?! All this hype and no pic of the machine…?! What’s the point in that…?! Lol

spot on.
to include backwards compatability would jack the price of the console up exponentially.
as it did with PS3. they had to remove backwards compatability from the PS3 to lower the price. im lucky enough to have an old school PS3 that can play PS2 and PS games. and so… ill be keeping it!

in terms of release date in the EU, the price, and the look of the thing, they were never going to announce too much last night.
they need to save something for E3, and other expos.
they will make those announcements, but in their way. ie. grand and spectacular.
bring on PS3.

I want the PS4 soooo much I kept telling myself that my PS3 has so much life in it and not ready to move on just yet but dammit that show blew my mind. I look at my PS3 as if its a PS1 now. lol. But anyway, so many exciting games to come that will keep me busy until the release of the PS4. It’s a defo day 1 buy from me no-matter what Microsoft does. They don’t even do any decent games like Killzone, inFamous and loads more.

There are so many questions that needs asked but in time I’m sure I will get the answers

what about ps plus user? wii be on ps4? Gaikai service? wiil be free? or including to plus? is to good to be free! what is the future for the ps3? after 4 comes out? price drop? Home will continue to run? the driver is blu ray? the hdd is ssd? how much ps4 cost? i don’t have 750 euro like i spent to the ps3 day one that’s some questions ps3 gamers want answers now

the successfulness of the ps4 is going to be heavily influenced on whether the cloud based streaming of ps3 games allows you to play your games or requires you to rebuy all your games.

i already rebought my ps2 games for ps3 I WILL NOT BE DOING IT AGAIN.
if sony seriously expects me to rebuy my ps3 games i will be switching to xbox.

im probably one of the most loyal sony fans in the world ive defended it for years against xbox fans but theres only so many kicks in the nuts i can take before i (along with many other fans) give up on the company completely.

…when a gamer sees a title of interest in PlayStation Store, they can immediately start playing a portion of the actual game.

With a store that is slow and consumer unfriendly like hell (we still can’t do selections on our bought digital content), a store team that is as broken as the store itself and the slowest download times in the world, your focus on “online” is beond believeble.

ALso no word on second hand games, always online, the cost to use all these function and the roll out for Gaikai that is supposed to roll out slowly (probably as slowly as the comic store, movie store, Mobile, etc), again unbelieveble.

now after the PS4 announcement if i were at SCEE i’d make sure to secure all those singstar-offended ps3 users for a next gen purchase by giving then a possibility to use their ps3 the same way again how all the years before singstar spam, singstar spam needs to go away in favor of PS4 sales , or is singstar more important than more PS4 sales?

all we ask for is a removal option , the people that like this addition can continue enjoying it , but those who wish it wouldnt never appear there could continue using the ps3 the way they were used to with a singstar free interface, is that too much to ask for? making everyone happy should be the top priority for any company

Not sure what to expect after immediately buying the ps3 on its release date (around £630) and having it break down after 18-24 months and paying out over a £100 to Sony for a replacement. That then died on me and a third replacement was received.
When the third one started to make the same noises and have the same issues I couldn’t bear to go through the whole process of reloading all the games again etc. etc. So I purchased a Slim and overnight transferred everything over to that then had the wait for Sony to allow my Singstar purchases to be used on the slim.
So will I be putting my faith and money immediately into Sony new hardware, Mmm, given that it will not play ps3 games that I own has made that decision much easier. Sorry Sony but as a very very loyal customer I feel that I can’t risk investing in your hardware from scratch. I might have taken the risk if there was backward compatibility but no way am I going through the nightmare of having 4 units in 6 years, I’ll wait and see what the riability is like.

Well, least the PS4 can still play used games which is a great thing and not to mention great games too. All it matters now when is out for Europe? If Microsoft does decide to lock used games however. Sony could well win next gen.

GAME UK seem to be suggesting they expect a 2013 luanch can one of you PLEASE confirm if that’s the plan? Also day 1 Watch Dogs, Killzone and Drive club- got to ask why not killzone 4? Surely for marketing that’d have fit better- although I actually prefer the shadow fall title I think it showed the new direction the series seems to have taken quite well, and its certainly going to make the series better in my opinion

Some of the stuff last night looked spectacular. The Killzone demo was just an “Oh Wow!” moment for me just looking at the effects being employed as well as the draw distances. Then there was a lot of hype about stuff I’m not really all that interested in. But it all seemed to be building up to a finale that would show us this fabulous new bit of kit… thank you… good bye…

Wait! was that it? Where’s the new machine???? Seriously I stayed up until 1am to be shown a controller I’d seen leaked weeks ago and a few tech demos??? So now I’m sat at work, tired, and feeling like I’ve been robbed.

On top of that, we’ll most likely not see the unit in Europe before next March. The rest of the world will get it before Christmas and then we’ll get it the wrong side of Christmas.. AGAIN!!!.

Then to top that we’ll no doubt have to pay the extra for it over here like we always do, due to the usual $1=£1 so if it’s $500 in the US, it’ll end up being £500 and 5 months late…

The big question is: Will it launch worldwide, or will we Europeans get shafted like all the previous consoles?

If Sony manages to pull off so we got it as the Americans and Japanese, then I would be pleasently suprised. The showing yesterday was fantastic (Gaikai, 8GB GDDR5 RAM, Line up etc), so they’ve aced everything thus far.

Keep it up Sony, and give us what we want! We’ll thank you with our wallets!

Sounds lika a great machine but none of the games shown interested me (apart from a new inFamous) and the lack of backwards compatibilty is a bit of a killer for me and also has made me ponder whether I should even buy anymore PS3 games from now on if I can’t play them on a new machine.

Where is THE LAST GUARDIAN? I will not be buying a ps4 untill this game gets released.
I only watched the sony event last night for two things,The Last Guardian and the actual design of the ps4, but neither showed up.

First off I want to CONGRATULATE Sony with a successful, impressive and respectful (and exiting of course) new console. The 8GB of fast RAM is promising! Keeping the console geared towards gamers (first) will pay off in the long run, those gamers will keep on supporting you! Joyed to hear programming will be easier for the new hardware which will resemble a PC in ways. This will get the maximum out of the console way earlier and developers will be able to really put the pedal to the medal and step on the gas with PS4 and seek out it’s absolute limits. Always pleased to see when creativity get’s a voice, just like the fact Sony gave unusual games a chance. I really hope the PS4 will be the platform of choice for indie developers (or at least just as good a alternative to Valve’s Steam on the PC). I’m thrilled. A console with respect towards the gamer, respect towards the developers and respect towards the indie community.
All in all a very promising and exiting start and very proud that the biggest tile, Killzone: SF is from Dutch soil (Guerrilla studios Amsterdam). Again, CONGRATULATIONS!

So…until Europe gets the PS4 (whenever that may be), what’s the point in purchasing PS3 games? Will the Gaikai streaming work with already purchased PS3 games on the Store or we’ll have to rebuy all the “PS3 classics”? If the online services on the PS3 and the PS Vita are one dissapointment after another, what makes you think PS4 will be any different?

Nothing was mentioned about used games at all so there is no news at all about if it will or won’t play used games.
In fact disc based gaming was not even mentioned last night, when talking about spec of console they talked about CPU,gpu, memory and hard drive inside the unit there was no mention of a blu ray drive at all.

Looking forward to e3 to see more about the ps4.

And people saying there getting an Xbox next gen should think about waiting till its announced as it may also have no bc or not play used games ect.

I agree with most people here.
On-ps3 sony has taught us that ps2 was not important. Why would we even want ps3 games on ps4? just keep your ps3 to play at your next ps4.
Purchased psn games should be playable without streaming (download limit)
-No singstar spam (but manage your own icons)
-Share = not necessary, I am single person. text mesage and find more than enough (although that would be easier to use a text pop up in game with your friends will be able to chat via text while gaming)

The best SE was able to “produce” for PS4 event was last years Luminous Engine demo? And that we’ll see a new FF title at E3? How about they 1st release a game that they announced 6 years ago (FF XIII vs), or 2 years ago (FF X HD)…

hope the ps4 comes out be4 christmas for the uk :p plus theres a gd few games coming out for it not like the ps3 when that first came out there was only a couple of games when that came out on its release date

I really loved the presentation and the PS4 looks awesome. Sadly I won’t be getting it without Backwards Compatibility

I really can’t be dealing with losing my digital content every few years when I can buy a steambox and continue to enjoy me collection. I understand there being technological restraints but to just say that at some point maybe some games will be available is just not enough

Ehh I sm s major playstation fan, always have been since PS1, but considering GTA5’s coming out around the same point, and considering I have loads to catch up on yet like far cry 3 and AC3, and so many more it would fill this blog, Im Holding off for atleast a year

What happens to our trophy count ?. not that it matters much but, i can’t see how they can transfer our present count over onto a non-backwards compat machine.. should i start spending money on xbox games now, ?. as i believe achievements will both carry on and prob more importantly, actually still retain their present value, being whatever that is to different people, then again ps3s trophies never were a part of the original picture, where as $box’s are prob it’s only redeeming feature.. can’t wait for more info on that, as well as the more (lol) important stuff.. as for it ps4, not being backwards-compat, well i don’t really care myself.. as a few have said allready i also have Way to much (Good) games still to play, plus upcoming ones that’ll add to them.. so day1 isn’t going to happen for me whenever they remember about them strange people outside of the US.. ie you/me.. every other european consumer.. i mean they even call us consumers !, US of course called Customers..

Hey Sony awesome stuff but i want to know if all my digital products that I have bought are going to come with me, i don’t care if it’s in digital downloads on the ps4, or all the content on the streaming service, i still in theory own it, by being a loyal PSN customer for over 6 years or so now so i see my products as a long term investment, thinking that you cant pull the same backwards (CENSORED) twice i bought loads, invested in playstation plus from nearly day 1…..

Now to find out i cannot put in a ps3 game and just boot, or start one of my many digital titles, it up has upset me to say the least.

I hope this will be one of the main things addressed at E3 this year along with proof of the remote play working with at least 5-10 of the 1st and 3rd party titles otherwise i wiil have to, sadly jump ship and its not going to be the next Xbox neither let me tell you…

I am curious is this console going to offer backwards compatability or are we going to have to purchase all 4 consoles in order to play our library? Also I’m curious about the durability of the hardware, I mean the graphics are very impressive as with the ps3 and the heat the ps3 generated caused the ylod so I was out of a console and don’t plan on purchasing another that isn’t backwards compatible. What has Sony done different to ensure that this problem won’t happen with the ps4?

robby-dog the 8 core CPU make sure it’s so effective they probably won’t even have to cool the CPU, making it much more silent as well.the ram is more then ample. the hardware is very promising. if they pushed it even further no-one would be able to effort one, jagging up the price way to much. basically, we couldn’t asked for more.

Hello Mr Tretton
Im very excited for the launch of the PlayStation 4, I still have all my old generation PlayStation consoles, including this generation ones the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita and with the PlayStation 4 coming this holiday season, looks like I have what im getting for Christmas.
I think the idea of the PlayStation application to use smartphones and tablets for second screen gaming is a fantastic idea and as an owner of an Xperia S smartphone, id look forward to trying this application out.
I just want to say a big ThankYou very much Mr Tretton and to all your team at SCEA and Sony for 12 years of amazing gaming and entertainment and I look forward to the future, I believe the PlayStation Brand will go on forever. I am a Big Fan Of Sony and PlayStation one day id like to work for the PlayStation Brand.
ThankYou very much for your time Mr Tretton.

I hope this whole social integration and putting facebook everywhere. I’m a gamer, but not a dork or nerd and I don’t wanna everyone to see that, I don’t wanna integrate my console with social services. I hope I’ll be able to disable it all so that I won’t even be seeing any icons asking me to share it with someone. I’m old school, I just want to play my game. Nothing more.

No BC means I will not buy PSN titles on 3 or 4.I’ll be honest I stopped buying digital a while back until this issue was resolved. I gladly support content if I see good value (PS plus) and the PSN collection I own.

But being told I have to start again,it’s BS.I don’t want two systems plugged in if I want to play PS3 software vs my brother, or if I fancy a spin on God Hand, Hustle King’s and anything else I own.
Retail stuff I’m not bothered about,but killing my digital library is a no no.

I thought the event was good overall, but will need a serious think and look at all the options at launch. I’m not brand locked now so have no loyalty again.

Shopto have it at £399.85 with an RRP of £450 (could change)
and controllers at £45
No mention of an RD (likely months or a year after the golden child) or whats bundled with it however, assuming they come with the strange camera, expensive (though not as much as I had expected tbh o_O) controller, heck we might actually see a headset with it
Was there any mention of confirmed CGC?

All I want to know is will we finally get all the content of still be stuck with sony’s EU branch that has us waiting for months after the NA releases to get games? The connections means nothing if we still mis out on great games like counter strike global operations.

Well not really is it. What happens if your PS3 dies? What will happen 5 years from now when the PS3 is no longer made? Will we still be able to use the old PSN?

These are not weird questions to ask. Any music or movie I have bought in at least the last 10 years is still completely usable.

Most PC games I have bought in the last 10 years are still playable even though it might take some rigging.

Now I could understand (still be annoyed and would be weary of being digital copies) if they said hey all those PS3 games will eventually be streamed through Gaikai without extra cost but don’t worry all the PS1 and PS2 games you bought again will be transferred.

Now if you don’t care that is fair enough but to pretend there is no problem for other people is just a little bit silly. The fact that people complain shows there is a problem whether or not you think they are just whingers.

I watched the entire conference like I’m sure many others here did and I was very impressed. Straight to the point on the system, its specs and then the games. Sure we didn’t see the system itself but hey, they gotta have something for E3. The games of course are a big leap from what they are now and if you’re a gamer you will be excited by this. I know I am. Just hoping the cost is not too much and it will release in Ireland near enough to the US and Japan release date. I excited. The future is here, some have said maybe a little bit earlier than needed, but I think timing is just about right. We still have many games to look forward to on the PS3 before PS4 release. Until then I cant wait to get the next batch of details about it.

what i want to know right now is can the ps4 play ps3 games if it does i will get it by tradeing in the ps3 to get the ps4 but if not they can forget it i can afford to stay in trend pluss i love my ps3 games

I’ve spent quite alot on my ps3’s, and i wont be buying ps4, nor do i care to re-buy all my digital games. Cloud service? yeah right, it will no doubt take you 4 years after ps4 release to get it working, sony make cheap half-hearted rubbish these days, I lol’d at the “were know what your want to play” bs, spamstar anyone? yeah i can just picture the new xmb LoL, the whole announcement went like this “blah, blah, blah, blah, blah”

I’ve read an article that games can be blocked by publishers to block 2 markt.
each publisher decides for itself , I dare to bet that ea. ubisoft go 1st
and sony will follow very soon as well as all the rest.

I hope them keep to their word that no longer whe need online pas
and also to lower prices of games when them lounch tags on games .
